>>15873982It kinda disproves you laugh at "a dying breed."Even the nips are starting to like her. The only problem people have anymore is that, because she has two gears, she show up in the gacha often.

>>15874046Touma is one of my favorite artists that does Symphogear.Maybe I am biased because his Hibiki/Chris halloween strip was one of the first things I ever fully read in Japanese, but I do think most of this work is really great.Look at this one, from before Topdad got "redeemed":https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=41790016

>>15874143I imagine this one is something like:>"Oh no, our gears were transformed by this Edo-like completely barren parallel world!">Shirabe became a ninja, but she isn't ninja-like, so she decides to take classes with Ogawa to better utilize her gear.Which would be great 2-fold, since it'd give Shirabe some character development without Kirika and get us more Ogawa. Also, ninjas are cool.Since Chris seems to be Miko-themed, her "training" for her mutated gear would probably explore once again her fear of ghosts. Which would be adorable.And Kirika... Maybe she got addicted to Sengoku Basara or something, I don't know. What is she supposed to be anyway?

>>15874171It'd make too much sense, so no.Exploring his pixiv, he has lots of great ones.For context, toddler Bikki was crying because toddler Chris said she hated her in another strip. A strip that I remember was translated here in /m/ 1 or 2 years ago.

So I just watched some shitty horror movie that mentioned Josef Mengele. He was some crazy nazi doctor and he was born in Bavaria, it can't be a coincidence. I can't believe the secret weapon to kill God is Hibiki's dwarf twin sister who has heterochromia.

>>15874332No. Show is awesome though and he's pretty good. Best serious plot this season. Isekai Shokudou covers the most comfy one but ROBVS is definitely the best serious story. Shame about recreators and the clusterfuck that turned out to be.

>>15874384>Chris' twintails embrace even more the tsundere in her and become hair drillsThinking again, those curls only bring images of Tsunderes because they are normally associated with rich girls, who tend to be stuck up.This one, however, reminds me more of Mami's curls, which I think was the reference.

Game also sometimes stutter (audio only), but not every launch. It's the weirdest shit. But yes I mostly have to quit and relaunch app/memu after a few missions, or just stuck on loading after going into any missions. Happens like 1/3 of the time.

The follower popups make me fucking hate any user who follows instead of making me jealous of them or whatever and making me want to follow/donate. They're like those people who stand up every three seconds during a movie.

I like to imagine Kaneko that just got out of the hospital while still using crutches entering the office at full speed slamming the fucking door and screaming that Hibiki needs to become God instead of Adam.

I...have nothing to say. That was all sorts of...huh...shit the fuck just happened in that ep. I need a moment to catch my breath here. And to think I was worried about Dess. Now I have to worry about Bikki becoming God.

>>15875423Collective 6-way geahs+Germain handholding.>>15875427Did not see him being a custodian doll coming.I wish we got to see sexy goddess Bikki, but this episode was so intense.Things felt like they had weight for the first time since S1.It had everything, even that snark Tsubasa made at Chris after she pointed out Germain and Bikki are fighting together despite being at each other's throats seconds before.Also, they missed the opportunity to make astronaut dude say "Don't give up on living".

>Hibiki accepts godlike powers>Brings back everyone who was killed via Symphogears, both directly and indirectly>In doing so, loses godlike powers and the ability to use Symphogear - Miku replaces her in the team>S5 is about coming to terms with Fine, Ver, Kanade, Serena, and the other Receptor Children

>Tikki with the power of god>Bikki kills her>Bikki gets the power of godTikki really was a Bikki doll, what the hell.This episode was pretty close to perfect. There was everything from Fudou to SG+Bikki bonding, to even a joke that actually made me snicker.

>I TRUST HANASANA YUUKI>Tiki going full Lamia>Lance of Longinus is Gungnir DATTO>Adam is a fucking robot and rips off his arm to fight St. Germain>SECRET INFORMANT IS ONE OF THE DUDES FROM THE SHUTTLE MISSION>UNLIMITED BEAT OUTTA NOWHERE>TIKI FUCKING DIES>HIBIKI ABOUT TO START THIRD IMPACT

>>15875523Use the user who mentioned the alexandria incident aka Tall flattyAlso: there, ack, it's spelled out the damn thing was canon. The rest of us figured that out when Tsubasa mentioned a scene from 3.5, but whatever.

>>15875529You believed in the salvation from Bikki and Bikki rewarded you with 5 charming butts.All praise your new goddess and her holy butt!Just realized Aoi has now played 2 magical girls who ended up becoming gods. This can't be a coincidence

>>158755930%. Not gonna lie.They just don't look like they have been doing the parallel world stuff in the anime. You know what being stuck in a hole because of your huge breats does to a person's self-esteem perspective in life? Anime Chris just doesn't look like she has gone down that path

>>15875650That's your new goddess, have some respect.>>15875649Extra story we all thought was going to be an OVA because of the way it was advertised, but ened up as a game event.It is about the Alexandria incident and it took place between GX and AXZ

>>15875688Hibiki's well beyond the spotlight at this point. Every single other character is useless compared to a girl who could punch through dimensions AFTER losing her special snowflake healing factor with built in power armor. And now she's god.

>>15875663For the same reason why Kirika and Hibiki were the only ones who were deployed against Germain: Elfnein is fixing their gears.They even showed her fiddling with the pendants in the episode.>>15875667Maria isn't the main character, so sort of. And I can't speak for everyone, but my problem with Maria was with shoving her everywhere in the game and taking a retarded detour into her head in AXZ.Plus, Hibiki hasn't done anything worth notice ever since she punched the snake thing.

>>15875700Everyone else using something that fell from her is her doing something? Hibiki could have gone into a coma after punching the snake and that plotpoint and most of AXZ would have played out exactly the same except Chris might not have named it the fool's stone.

so germain and adam both are surprised as fuck the god power is going to hibiki, since a normal modern human being shouldn't be able to host this power since we are flawed and impure. Is the final boss really going to be evil elder god hibiki?

>>15875714Nah, they made up a reason that people other than Hibiki couldn't fight the alchemists unless Hibiki existed first.It was padding that existed just to go "man, aren't we glad that Hibiki existed?"

>>15875737Senki Zesshou Symphogear Armageddon - And On The Last Day of the World, a Single Voice...

A year after the events of AXZ Hibiki wakes up from her Cocoon or whatever with no idea what has happened since. Tokyo and the surrounding area is completely destroyed, there's strange plants everywhere, and most importantly, the moon is missing.

As she explores the area she sees something moving, but it doesn't look human. Before it lashes out and attacks her it's impaled as a figure in red jumps down from above and says to her "Welcome home, bwaka"

>>15875755God was probably a custodian who was bored with his life and decided to fuck around with some monkeys, one of which got really attached, so he decided to bail and left in such a hurry he dropped a lot of his alien sextoys.

>>15875734I'll grant you that the fool's stone plot is just to justify the alchemists lasting as long as they did but going off this episode her ability to kill the dragon and GodTiki is an inherent property of Gungnir not Hibiki, you can argue that her continued ability to wield Gungnir is part of her being a special snow flake and I can't refute that all I can say is they aren't going give Gungnir back to Maria, they aren't to write Hibiki out, she's always going to be important and she always going to punch the seemingly immortal JRPG boss to death because she's the main character of an action anime and that's what they do.Maybe if you're lucky Maria will get to save the real main character again.

>>15875789I don't care about Maria. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the fanbase.One girl who is always whined about not doing something finally does something and people complain, but the other girl who is the one that does everything so hard that everyone else is irrelevant legitimately becomes god and nobody says anything.

>>15875825>God Bikki gets back and starts telling everyone what she found out while she was god>Chris screams at her to get dressed while covering her face>Miku keeps taking pictures while painting the floor red with her nosebleed

>>15875877>I thought it became just some special thing Bikki could do unrelated to the relic fused with her body.S2CA specifically was her taking high amounts of phonic gains from zesshous and channeling it through her body using the relic inside of her. She doesn't have that inside of her anymore.This is why she didn't use it in GX, but they seem to have forgotten.She could do it at the end of G because they were in X-drive and that basically just turns a person into phonic gain. G was also written as a finale that wasn't supposed to be continued.

>>15875864>"I-Idiot, put some clothes on!">"Chris-chan, the need to wear clothes is something created by our unwillingness to relate to each other! It is all because of the curse of Balal!">Looks menacingly at the moon>Everyone else wonders if nudity is just a feature custodians and the people who attain their power share for whatever reason

I wish Prelati and Cagliostro had had more screentime than a single group fight and then a "one and you're done" death fight where they both got cheesed to death, with Prelati basically dying senselessly because she decided to become a fucking moron.

>>15875953>Comes to realize Adam is baddie>Wants to warn eyebrows>Geahs show up>Has seen Bikki try to befriend eyebrows on several occasion>Lashes out in autistc rage instead of just telling them whats up>Dies like a bitch

>>15875979>At least the dolls were fun.That is sorta true, but they weren't fun enough not to also>Die like bitches>Make up for the absolute shit tier villain Carol was>Not having any coherent motivation or characterization

They're literally dolls, they don't need a motivation. Garie had a lot of personality, the others didn't because Garie was the only one with over 4 minutes of screentime. GX should have been like twice, the dolls were a casualty of trying to do all this complex shit in 12 episodes.

>>15876038>They're literally dolls, they don't need a motivation.Sorta true but at least Tikki's actions of thirsting for Adam was kept constant and if you want to boot the motivation problem up to Carol then she fails even worse at it. Shit I would have preferred if Kaneko just dropped any pretense for Carol's actions and hatred for the world and just left it blank.

>bikki goes beserk with power>starts destorying everything>S4 ends with future hibiki knocking the shit out of insane bikki to get her to calm the fuck down>S5 is all about going back to S4 to save hibbiki from going awol

The thing is Carol being basically a butthurt little child raging at how life is unfair was one of the few things GX did right and could have been very interesting. This immortal thousand year old little girl who has spent so much time hating everything, pretending to be a confident adult, but in the end she's just a little shit unable to comprehend tge human suffering of others, like Bikki.

Problem is that since GX was 12 episodes lomg this was never explored at all so Carol just comes off as a retard.

Half of S1 was all about Tsubasa and every problem she faces she just gets even more resolve. I don't think that there is much else they can do with her, like Chris who also struggles to find a reason for screentime. At least they're better than FIS.

>Adam was a Custodian robot all along>The Lance of Longinus was Gungnir all along>Hanasaku Yuuki>unexpected Unlimited Beat>Adam ripping his arm off and using it as a sword>whatever the fuck happened to Hibiki at the endWhy do I always have to miss the episodes where all the exciting shit happens?

>>15876069>The human suffering of others, like Bikki.But most of Hibiki's thing is being able to understand that the people she fights ARE suffering and trying to help them.>Problem is that since GX was 12 episodes lomg this was never explored at all so Carol just comes off as a retard.The problem was the presentation, sure some of it could have been alleviated with more time budgeted in but, the flashbacks she had did little to humanize her, make her feel like a threat or even properly showcase how she got so fucked up. Look at Fine in S1, there was way less time spent on what made her tick and her big flashback just explained what she was not who she was, and we sadly enough got a way better sense of it with her just shouting about wanting to bone god, even if everything was really just an ego trip for her. They could have saved a lot of time and made Carol far more menacing if we were never sure where she came from or what injustice she witnessed that made her hate humanity so. This would have left more room in the episodes to showcase the gears interactions more so Chris being the DMJii's caretaker didn't feel like it came from fucking left field. Hell maybe they could have shown that Kirika places no value in her own life, and that feed into why she was fucking up with Shirabe.

>>15876038GX's problem wasn't its length at all, it dragged on forever with how shit awful the pacing was.

13 episodes is plenty of time and even the single short OVA focusing on them managed to characterize the dolls and Carol more than the actual show did. It's simply about how they split things across episodes to try to individualize character/antagonist moments instead of organically work them into things, plus crap like Alca-Noise and top dad drama taking further time away from what should have been focused on.

The pacing was a mess but I also think that they got too overambitious with all the stuff they put in there like topdad and trying to develop everybody and fit in a beach episode. It was just a big mess.

>>15876153>Hibiki fought Adam no problems>Tiki sounded like she was in pain. >Drilled her in halfHibiki has a quota of one befriending per enemy group once that's reached everyone else should just run and hide.

>>15876260>>15876246It's worse, Tsubasa actually says it's the Alexandria incident. She isn't vague at all, she pretty much goes "Oh, just like the stuff from the Alexandria incident"She mentions the event BY NAME. The only way this could have been more blatant would be if Tsubasa flashed her phone screen to the camera while she herself was playing 3.5 on, I don't fucking know, "Magical Singing Hood: Endless Z-Blast"

>>15876280>only one per groupWe have an MO then. Hibiki always finds the bustiest girl she can and tries to befriend them until it works. Once she has them as a friend, she moves on to whatever stacked girl she can.For example, she was after Chris until Chris held her hand, then moved onto Fine. Then she went for Maria and held her hand, and moved on to titty Carol. Now her current project is Germain.

>>15876319>Multiple posts claiming I'm wrong>it must be samefaggingWhy is this your only fucking defense? Do we need to start taking images of our computers with this thread open to prove to you we're not samefagging and you're just plain fucking wrong and can't deal with it?

>>15876286>"Magical Singing Hood: Endless Z-Blast"This is the perfect April fools update.How hard would it be to make a different hub and menu for a day?Also, Utazukin is the perfect event for a week containing april fools: advertise Serena is coming, or something else people really want, and then boom: Welfare Utazukin Chris and new gacha banner with nothing but Utazukinverse geahs, with a new storyline taking place in the Utazukin series if Chris was the protagonist that all turns out to be Chris's dream in the end

>>15876327>So? You're still trying to defend it by trying to insist that 3.5 is canon. Duh.Oh, I see where this is going. You hate 3.5 because it's somehow tsubamari shipping, and not even the show itself referencing it is going to change the fact that you adamantly believe it's not canon due to this association you have created.

>>15876340No, I mean literally taking a picture of my computer, with a camera, with the words "You are wrong" in the reply box, and you doing the same as well to prove that we are different people posting from different locations.

>>15876355AXZ Episode 11 confirmed that the Alexandria incident is something that has happened. Accept your loss and fuck off if you are unwilling to share your justification for disagreeing with information plainly and blatantly presented in the show.

>>15876449We can hope for the zesshoushinais to also have some 3.5 stuff in them. I figure they will, it'll only help in the long run to promote the game, so I don't see them skipping this opportunity.

>>15876449I think they don't really want to give it too much credit for obvious reasons, it's quite annoying when you have to check other sources to know the plot of something.It has null chances of appearing in my opinion, at least in the main series, zesshoushinais might work with the "x time before AXZ" thing.

>>15876546>and it'd make people mad.Not really, you can turn that divine power into a child and have fantastic plot for S5 with Hibiki and Miku raising loli custodian. Now more realistically, Airgetlam will steal divine particles from Hibiki and everyone will get new divine form which is nothing new.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnunnakiIt seems like German believed Aryan peoples are descendants of "Anunnaki"(Custodians). During WW2 they tried to find a way to wipe out Custodians and become the next Custodians of the earth.

>>15875903>Bikki spending S5 a lot more stripping-happy>P.E. on the swimming pool>Miku and the Stroganettes have to stop her from going in naked>Running on the track>Miku and the Stroganettes have to stop her from going out naked>No P.E. during test day>Miku and Stroganettes have a sigh of relief before noticing Hibiki is stripping little by little during the test

>>15876653>>15876665Actually, rereading it, it says that Germain tried to wipe out the custodians, and if the custodians were aryan, then Germain was opposed to Hitler and Hitler was trying to take mankind to the stars.So Hitler did nothing wrong.
